In owners' own words
Steering wheel is so tight it bounces back into position also the car drifts on the road and the steering when you turn the wheel its like it slotted so if you just move it a fraction it will fall into a slot and then you going off the road I feel the drive by wire is so tight that it will snap and kill somebody over time and the drifting it will drift fast so if your not 100 percent paying attention your dead.

The streeing wheel started clicking and or sticking a few months ago while turning. The clicking/sticking has progressively gotten worse and the steering wheel feels loose and unsecured. When driving on uneven roads the steering wheel rattles loudly and shakes constantly. I feel as I do not have any control of my vehicle at times and have to adjust contstantly when turning or driving over uneven roads. Steering · reported at 34,000 miles
The steering wheel coupler is defective. Steering became unstable. Rattle and shaking. Itâs terrifying to drive and not know whatâs wrong. Got told it was tires. Got told it was the alignment. Got told that it had something to do with the drive train.. too find out that itâs a $11 part.and to discover that Elantra and Sonata owners were notified but not Azera owners is just negligent behavior.
